Thank you for 200 followers!!🤯

I've only started using X a few days ago to document my journey and perhaps build a community of like-minded people, but never would I have thought that we'll be 200 people in just a few days, it's incredible!

Thank you very much for being here, let's keep shipping💪

Founders, whats the very first thing youve ever built?

How far have you come since?

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@borrhensaidi Thanks! i hadnt considered it myself either but realized how important and overlooked it really is not long ago:/

Day 8/30 of building an app a day for 30 days

A few days ago i learned that roughly 1 in 12 men can't reliably tell a green "success" from a red "error" and you as the developer will never know, they might even just quietly assume your app is broken and leave.

so for today i built a tool where you just simply drop a screenshot and it shows you exactly how your interface looks to people with each kind of color blindness, all based on real data, so you can catch whats "wrong" early.

it runs entirely in your browser, nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

@kirtandopamine id also go with top left bcuz its the most distinctive ig? but the one below it is great too

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@StickWithNate thats awesome! to many more real uses! :)

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@jacobAlswin to me its getting them to pay. trying is free, paying isnt and most people are very careful with their money obviously

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@shirshakchavan exactly, i always advocate for using different design.md files and feeding them to claude if you already have an existing website in mind that uses the style you wnna go for

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@neerxjbhatt holy shi man, that looks impressive! i'll definitely be following the journey if you plan to keep up with the updates!

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

whats everyone building rn?👀

👇drop it down here, you never know who might need exactly that :)

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@RevenautX exactly! ive been seeing other platforms cracking down heavy ai generated content, so wouldnt be surprised if the x algo started to do somethin similar, who knows

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

everyone says use AI to write your social media content. thats genuinely some of the WORST advice going right now

so many people are using AI and mostly the very same models by now that its just instantly obvious. the em dashes, the "it's not x it's y", the emoji bullet lists, the "deep" closers / maxim endings or whatever that mean nothing. It all reads the same and its such a turn off for me.

Wiriting your own posts is slower yeah, but at least it sounds like YOU and not like a prompt.

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@aanthonymax thiss! idk if anyone's tried omniscio (its beta now) but its completely model agnostic so you can mix whatever subscriptions you have. anyone know of other platforms like that?

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@anupamrjp My code's on github but my agent sessions + whole setup live in a local first platform (with an encrypted mirror pushed to cloud.)

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@ShalsX clear writing, like just being able to say exactly what you mean in plain words. sounds boring but it's carried my whole career lol and it matters even more now that everyone's talking to AI all day long

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@kasif_dev X, not even close for me. linkedin feels like everyone's performing for their boss. on x it feels like everyones more real ig

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@erden_xi honestly the sharing is usually why i follow in the first place. plenty of founders are impressive but if they never show any of the how, i just admire from a distance like theres no way to kinda "connect" i guess

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@nikitathakur21 I moved into tech from a totally different field this year and it's basically just been me learning as fast as i can and being fine looking clueless while i catch up so yeah can totally relate lol

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@ericsocrat it is funny yeah, its just makes people so inauthentic imo

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@HeyAliux I just lean on it a lot for building, not for writing my posts. mostly claude cli in omniscio and wispr flow day to day. you?

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

yep. ive been doing marketing for quite long and the stuff that actually helped was always boring. updating a google ads product feeds manually, making the contact forms actually send, replying to reviews as humans, not robots etc. plus google sheets is surprisingly better for lots of thigns than many "revolutionary" ai workflows haha

[Dorian Builds @LiveLoveSEO]

@kirtandopamine as an marketing person this is bang on. same job as always: work out what people respond to and get it in front of them. AI just does the busywork now so you move way waaay faster
